I love a good set of snowy photos, and these are lovely. Like Gareth, no snow here (or sea or mountains) and I miss it. I need a new photo for next year's Christmas card!

Essentially how dark something can be before it appears completely black. I think they are claiming that it helps you see the shadow detail that in a straight print would be hard to discern (like bringing up the pattern on a mosaic floor by getting it wet, to use an archaeological analogy).
No idea if they are the same thing.

Decorations down on Wednesday here. But they don't go up until a week before Christmas. That way, we're not fed up with them before the Big Day and the real tree doesn't have as much chance to drop its needles before it has to come down. When the tree goes, I always miss the quiet flashing in the corner of the room.

Very similar here. Always have a party on the sixth and take everything down before I go to bed. No party this year, but probably some form of zoom get together.Decorations down on Wednesday here.

Lovely pair... as they say. Mine look a little more used. I have a chrome and a black MX, so that I can have colour film in one and BW in the other.
The gold LX is foul, but the Titan is very tempting (but not that tempting!). Shame it doesn't have it's matching A50/1.2 lens...

I take mine down on Jan 6th after a party (usually). This year it'll be a zoom meeting...

I apologise if I have caused offence, it was certainly not intended. I really don't want to see another friendly face disappear. This forum is getting thin enough on the ground as it is.I'm sad to be accused of being an idiot.
Goodbye.
I wish the CEO would say something sensible rather than daft about their decision. The argument could be (should be?) that Pentax believes that mirrorless and dSLRs have a future, and that they have decided to concentrate their resources on producing the best optical viewfinder dSLRs they can, rather than diversifying into a new, highly competitive sector. The bizarre comments he has made so-far have made him (and Pentax) a laughing-stock.

That photo project I've been wanting to undertake for years of black cats in coal cellars... (And what possible use is a few million ISO??).
More seriously though, I've always found that the maximum ISO of any camera (of any make) is borderline useless, BUT the usable maximum ISO keeps improving too. With my K20D anything over 400 was pretty ugly, with the K-3 I'll happily use 1600. If the K-3iii has usable 6400 then yay.
Also seriously, endlessly complaining about pure speculation seems utterly pointless. By all means moan about how long the delay has been, but FFS stop moaning about things we have no information about.
I'm here for the 30/2.8
